And that's the ultimate dividing line. Is it better to be good or to be real?

[(Anonymous)]

Ah yes, because it's AMAZING to be working a shitty office job forever.

[(Anonymous)]

Did you see how they lived in the real world? Yeah, keep me in the simulation.

[(Anonymous)]

Enjoy being a janitor forever, cleaning toilets that you don't need to, then.

[(Anonymous)]

As opposed to living in a factory eating grey mush and trying not to die.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay then you can stay as the machine battery that gets used up.

[(Anonymous)]

I would 100% rather clean for a living than try to live in a toxic wasteland, eating grey sludge, and needing to constantly dodge robot murder machines for the rest of my life.

[(Anonymous)]

oof this is awkwardly classist in the same way that moms who insist you must go to uni or else you'll grow up to be a, clutches pearls, sanitation worker

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty sure someone cleaned the toilets in the real world too.

[(Anonymous)]

If this was a simulation, maybe in the real world I wouldn't have been born disabled.

[(Anonymous)]

Cool. I'm disabled, too.

You'll still be a used up battery who's likely doing a miserable dead-end job in the Matrix, so maybe don't act like it was some wonderful paradise.

[(Anonymous)]

That is not what this secret is about. It says in the movie that the robots initially tried making a simulation that was better than the real world circa 2000, and the simulation we see in the movie is NOT that.

[(Anonymous)]

That is exactly what this is. They're whining that people "broke it" because humans understandably understood the world isn't perfect and, lo and behold, the simulation was fake to keep them compliant so they could be used up as batteries. OP wants to be a battery in a fakey paradise where nothing bad happens ever because they seem to think that isn't too good to be true.

[(Anonymous)]

The OP might be referring to the first simulation mentioned by Smith, which was a utopia, but because it was "too" perfect, people rebelled against it.

[iff_and_xor]

I remember it as a more subconscious thing, that their minds didn’t integrate into the program properly because of some underlying sense that things were too uncannily perfect.

But maybe that’s just an interpretation I made up. I’ve only seen it twice and the second time was at least a decade ago.

[(Anonymous)]

No that's pretty explicitly said by the machines later on, IIRC?

[(Anonymous)]

DA yeah that was why the Matrix world /wasn't/ perfect and had shitty parts, because if it was perfect, the human brains rejected it.

[(Anonymous)]

It was idealized at first, but people rejected it

[(Anonymous)]

The culture peaking thing doesn't get me but all the oooh look hard sci fi oooh tech *pulls out flip phone* thing gets me loling every time. Anything based even remotely on hard tech never lasts very long does it

[(Anonymous)]

Bonus part: every time andrew tate or any of those manosphere idiots mentions red pills or blue pills, I can't help but mentally note them as the flip phone boys

[(Anonymous)]

It's even better that they're drawing on a concept that was inspired by two trans women.

[(Anonymous)]

The red pill and the blue pill used in the movie are the Australian version of Demazin, so it always makes me assume they have a cold.

[(Anonymous)]

That was how I felt when I watched the movie in high school and how I still felt when I watched it in college. No idea how I'd feel now. Maybe I missed some details. I was too disappointed that nothing was ever really explored in depth and it all just ended up being an excuse for boring action scenes. Or so I thought. Apparently it's actually a metaphor for being trans. Staying in the Matrix is continuing to be cis, breaking out is realizing the truth about yourself and living it? Awkward since I'm trans (didn't have a clue when I watched he movie) and would never be able to be "cis" again, but I'd still probably rather live in the metaphor taken literally (i.e. stay in the Matrix).

[(Anonymous)]

This is seriously missing the point, since Neo noticed something was wrong in the simulation. He was unhappy in the simulation. He had a great job, but was unhappy and bucking against the system because something was wrong.

And this has happened so many times. If the machines were any good at all at making us copper tops, they would have solved this; but people keep breaking the simulation because they aren't happy.
